The chaos at the scene ended quickly.

Although the dragon tamers felt humiliated, Bagman wanted to prove his innocence by drinking veritaserum.

But under Fudge's persuasion, they finally accepted the arrangement, and the Aurors dispatched by Fudge took them back to the Ministry of Magic for detailed interrogation and investigation.

The two mutilated fire dragons were used as evidence and should be taken away.

However, when transporting Norbert, the Norwegian crested dragon, the fire dragon clung to Michelle's side for life and death and refused to leave no matter what.

As long as the dragon tamer pulls the heavy iron chain and tries to pull it apart, it will let out a heart-rending howl and resist like crazy.

It would not become quiet again until Michelle held its head again.

"This poor child!" Hagrid said while wiping away tears. "She suffered a lot outside and was subjected to such inhumane methods by that vicious guy hiding in the dark! Now she finally returned to the place where she was born, and she also encountered

When it comes to her family who loves her, of course she doesn’t want to leave!”

Michelle also had red eyes.

She held the fire dragon Norbert's head and begged:

"Please, don't take Norbert away, really... please..."

Seeing Michelle's pitiful appearance, Snape took a deep breath and walked over without hesitation.

However, before he could speak, the dragon trainers released their grip on the chains.

Obviously, they couldn't bear to hurt such a young girl.

They all turned their attention to Fudge, waiting for the next order.

"well--"

Fudge also stepped forward to comfort him, "Michelle, I know you are very reluctant to let go of this fire dragon. But our top priority now is to find out who is hiding behind the scenes and plotting against you and John. And this fire dragon is very important.

evidence of……

So be it, Michelle, I promise to let this fire dragon come to Hogwarts to stay with you for a few days after the investigation is over.

Then let the dragon trainers take it back to Romania."

Michelle obviously couldn't accept such treatment.

She cried louder, and while crying, she was still instinctively calling John's name.

This woke John from his reverie.

He understood what was going on with just one glance and said slowly:

"Mr. Minister, as evidence, the black iron belly should be enough. As for Norbert, let her stay at Hogwarts."

Snape also said:

"I'm also very interested in the mysterious buffing potion that the man behind the scenes used on the fire dragon. Just leave this Norwegian Crested Dragon at Hogwarts and let me study it carefully. Maybe there will be some investigation.

Helpful findings.”

Fudge frowned, looking between John and Snape, while still observing Dumbledore's expression out of the corner of his eye.

After a few seconds, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"John."

Fudge stepped forward and hooked John's shoulder, and whispered, "I'm sorry for putting you and Michelle in danger this time. But you also know that if this matter spreads, it will have a negative impact on the entire Ministry of Magic of the United States."

My international reputation will be severely affected. So can you please..."

"Mr. Minister, I understand what you mean. But compared to us, I think you should pay more attention to the reporter, right?"

John pointed to the side as he spoke.

Fudge looked in the direction John was pointing and saw the blonde girl writing something excitedly.

He sneered disdainfully and said:

"The Daily Prophet will not publish articles about people like her. And even if it does, so what? It's all fake news!"

Hearing this, John was stunned for a moment, and then he sneered.

Although Fudge didn't understand the point of the joke in what he just said, he still managed a cooperative smile and said:

"So John, all you have to do now is express your stance."

John nodded and said:

"No problem. Personally, I will not make any remarks related to this matter. As for Snape and Dumbledore..."

"They won't have any problems, this is a tacit understanding among adults!"

Fudge said this with great assurance, adding a cold joke at the end to make himself laugh.

This time it was John's turn to find nothing to laugh about, and Fudge didn't care, waving his hand and saying to everyone:

"Okay, okay, I agree to let this fire dragon stay in Hogwarts. But my consent alone is not enough. It also depends on whether your principal agrees."

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Dumbledore.

"It is illegal to raise fire dragons at will. Although Mr. Minister has approved it, letting such a fire dragon stay in Hogwarts obviously poses a great threat to the other students."

After Dumbledore said that, the light in Michelle's eyes dimmed again.

But soon, I heard Dumbledore say again:

"However, if Mr. Minister can allow the dragon trainers to provide some fire dragon raising training to our Care of Magical Creatures professors, I think it might be feasible to build a dedicated fire dragon breeding house at the Hogwarts hunting ground."

"It's a small thing!" Fudge said loudly, "The dragon trainers will train Hagrid well, I promise!"

As soon as this was said, Michelle and Hagrid immediately cheered.

They all dreamed of raising Norbert at Hogwarts.

And now, their dream has come true.

Fudge and the Aurors moved quickly.

Shortly after confirming Noble's resettlement plan, the Aurors returned to the Ministry of Magic with a group of dragon trainers, Bagman, Crouch and others.

Dumbledore obviously had extraordinary trust in Charlie Weiss.

Therefore, he was also retained, and while controlling the fire dragon Norbert, he began to teach Hagrid the knowledge related to dragon training.

Hagrid studied very seriously, and Michelle stood nearby and listened with interest.

As for John and others, they finally returned to Hogwarts Castle.

When John walked into the common room again, Draco and others who had been waiting inside burst into cheers and noises.

John saw only tables and chairs piled with mountains of cakes, as well as jugs of pumpkin juice and butterbeer.

Draco set off some laborious fireworks, and many stars and sparks flashed in the air.

Alice also made many magic banners to hang in the lounge. The banners depict scenes of John bathing in blood rain and defeating the fire dragon again and again.

The enthusiastic Slytherins instantly overwhelmed John.

The crowd gathered around him and sat down at the table in the center of the lounge. Everyone was chattering and laughing.

Influenced by them, John's original dull mood became slightly better.

"Oh my God! This is the dragon egg!" Draco took the golden egg that John placed on the table and weighed it with both hands. "Open it quickly, John! Let's see what's inside!"

Hearing this, the Slytherins around him also became curious.

John waved his hand perfunctorily and said:

"Just open it yourself."

Draco scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"Isn't this not good? After all, this is what you have earned so hard..."

Although he said this, Draco moved very quickly with his hands and pried open the egg directly along the groove on the eggshell.

It's empty, there's nothing inside.

But the moment Draco opened it, an extremely terrifying, high-pitched scream filled the entire room.

Almost everyone present looked in pain and covered their ears.

It wasn't until Draco closed the eggs again that everyone let go of their hands with contentment.

"What is that?" Draco asked with a pale face, "It sounds like the cry of a female ghost, John... you won't have to deal with a female ghost next time, right?"

After Draco gave him a head, everyone was discussing excitedly.

Although they don't think of themselves as warriors, this can make them feel more involved.

John was the only person who did not participate in the discussion.

He is not interested in dragon eggs or even the entire Triwizard Tournament.

Now he just wants to find out the guy who is hiding behind the scenes and trying to harm him and Michelle!

And his calmness also infected other people present, causing everyone's attention to gradually shift away from the golden egg.
